There really isn't a lot to say about this recording. It sounds great and is a capture of a live radio station appearance by Feist as she was getting ready for her upcoming Metals tour dates. There's a lot of talking between the station interviewer and Feist and only four live songs were performed and broadcasted. I'm not sure if there is more to this live FM appearance or not (read below for updated info, there is more). But the beginning of the recording here starts off with the host saying "And that is Undiscovered First, (from the) new Feist record called Metals on WFUV New York..." I'm not sure if the whole broadcast was not recorded or if the song off of the album (the official release version) was played first and that's why it wasn't included in this project?Well, I found the 'undiscovered first' song titled "Undiscovered First" last night and it definitely was a live version. While searching the WFUV online archives of previously recorded performers and performances, I found a first Feist appearance in July of 2005 streaming as well as this 2011 version also. The only problem is the streaming source is a lossy, mpeg source. But it does sound very good.

Feist's first time to WFUV, back in 2005, was a better performance because she played multiple songs and had fewer interviews in between. I'm going to take "Undiscovered First" from the lossy, mpeg internet stream source and add it to this lossless version I had ready to upload here already. I want this to be a complete set so I patched the two to create that.

This is a really excellent sounding recording captured off air by someone (with the exception of the first two tracks). I wish they'd spent more time letting Feist sing and play music in the studio, but the interviews are interesting too. Five out of nine tracks are interviews (and longs ones too) or talking and the other four tracks are songs from the radio station's studio live broadcast.

Even though track 1 and 2 are mpeg sourced (aka lossy) audio, I', leaving them as FLAC files just like the regular lossless tracks. In fact, there are two TLH CDDA Test text files I'm including. The first one, with the original 7 tracks, shows all tracks are 100% CDDA (or lossless). However, after adding the first two tracks I found overnight (the lossy ones) to the front of the recording where they belong, the TLH CDDA Test has different results now. I have no idea what is going on but I'm including both the 'Before' and 'After' text files for anyone interested.

I hope you enjoy the music and the interviews from Feist ...
